Hamilton Health Sciences treated an 18-year-old Western University student with the world’s first exosome therapy for burns, sparing her from facial grafts after a London fraternity house fire. The therapy, given on compassionate grounds in two doses, produced remarkable healing and could reshape burn care with further trials and wider use in the future.
Hamilton Health Sciences in Ontario conducted the world’s first burn treatment using exosomes to speed healing in an 18-year-old fire victim. The patient received two exosome injections, sourced from the United States, to accelerate recovery and reduce the need for skin grafts. Led by Dr. Marc Jeschke with Health Canada’s compassionate-use approval, the patient healed faster with improved facial outcomes and described the result as a miracle, though researchers say more study is needed before exosome therapy becomes a Canada-wide standard of care.
